A beautiful, haunting and prophetic song that would not have been out of place on the ELO concept album "Time". Thank you Harri for reacting to another stunner from the genius that is Jeff Lynne 👍😊
Their best album , Jeff Lynne is a genius
Fantastic ELO! Brilliant singer songwriter producer extraordinaire Jeff Lynne! 😎🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦
Missión is fantastic, deep, emotional song. I KNOW there are many recomendation for you, but dreamming 4000. and Queen of Hours are great great rock songs ELO....... thanks a lot for your reactions ... Caro...from Chile. ElOandLynn maniaca
THANK YOU !!!! i've been waiting for someone to react to this. This is another one of those bands (like CCR) where some of the deeper album cuts are as good as, if not BETTER, than the hits. You should also check out Shangri-la from this album....and Waterfall from 'face the music' beautiful. Jeff has such an amazing way with melody and harmony. excellent
I love this album so much! Every track a potential single. React to 'Shangri-La' next. or just stick a pin in.
An amazing song from an amazing album
A great and underrated deep cut. Like so many ELO albums, A New World Record is a masterpiece from beginning to end... and again @Cosmo Kramer, I love your intros.
Thanks, Kelly, I'm glad you dig them. Cheers.
I can't say this enough, but "A New World Record" is a GREAT recording.
My all time favourite album.
I love your ELO reactions. I don't do patron etc, but you should listen to "concerto for a rainy day". That's side 3 of the " Out of the blue" album. It's 4 songs in a line and it completely covers the genious Jeff Lynne.
Here the link: ua-cam.com/video/4gkxRkhMIzY/v-deo.html
@@henkzondag3703 Been suggesting this for months. :)
I completely agree.
18 minutes of musical bliss.
First Time I heard that Song I could Not help but cry 😢.
Every song on this album is amazing
Way to go Cosmo! Another hidden gem, (But aren't they all?)!
Maybe suggest "Jungle" next time?😘
Another fantastic song from another masterpiece album! Jeff Lynne definitely knew how to write achingly beautiful music! I hope you check out "My Shangri La" from the same album. I'm pretty sure that it will hit you the same way that the rest of us who LOVE ELO felt after listening to it.
Yes, "Shangri La" is another underrated masterpiece!!!
This song was my favorite from ELO for a long time, but my current favorite is "I'm alive" off the Xanadu soundtrack. And also "The quick and the daft", a short instumental. Check em out!
Jeff lynne is such a great writer 👏I just love is music 🎶 always helps me get through my bad days .love your reactions
Shangri La and Waterfall are essential tracks!!
Beautiful song
Harri, thanks for the terrific reaction! You mentioned the voice-changing effect Jeff used to make his voice sound alien-like. It's called a vocoder, and to my knowledge, this song was the first time he ever used it. And he was also one of the first rock/pop artists to use it! (Btw, it's not the same thing as Peter Frampton's talk box, which he used to such stellar effect in that same year, 1976.) But this song was most definitely not the last time Jeff used the vocoder, as you've heard already on, "Mr. Blue Sky", and, "Sweet Talkin' Woman", both of which came out a year after this song.
I know you were looking for the aliens to solve our problems in the end of the song, but while that would be great in reality, it doesn't make much of a protest song. So I agree with the way Jeff wrote it, to leave it open-ended, unresolved, with questions being asked, like, "How's life on Earth?", and, "What is it worth?". And lastly, yes, I do think you'll appreciate the song, including its music, more after one or two additional listens. Hopefully you can squeeze that into your schedule. Many thanks! :)

Great call out for this song! ty.
The '70s was a big time for the ecology, we had it drummed into us in 6th grade. 1971 also gave us Marvin Gaye's 'Mercy, Mercy Me' and 'What's Going On?' which was the album's title track. For anyone that doesn't know: "What's Going On is a concept album with most of its songs segueing into the next and has been categorized as a song cycle. The narrative established by the songs is told from the point of view of a Vietnam veteran returning to his home country to witness hatred, suffering, and injustice." from Wikipedia.
This is a must listen as much as ELO's "A New World Record" is.
Love this song. From a GREAT album. Jeff Lynne is the real deal.
Yeah, Jeff is definitely from out there as many of us are here ha ha. Been doing his spaceship albums for decades. Time album is great, love Twilight.
One of my favorites from ELO…..there are so many hidden gems from them.
Many thanks for reacting to this masterpiece. If you like the most powerfull progressive songs from ELO you have to react to Standing in the Rain followed by Big wheels from their album Out of the Blue. Regards from Chile!!
And if you want to hear something really special, unique, even scary, you should react to Fire on High. Regards!!
This is just one great song on this album. Unlike every other ELO album, every song is not only listenable but is so pleasing to the senses. I never analyzed the words too much on this song. I just love the music and how it flows and it is the start of my favorite part of this album. So many hits. This song was not on radio, many other songs from this album were the hits in this time period. But that is one reason it is so under-rated. I actually have been listening to this album just about every day the past few weeks and I'm not tired yet. :)
You should check out ELO's "The Jungle" from the Out of the Blue Album (1977). It's fun and unique.
Jeff got the idea for the name of the album from watching the 1976 Olympic Games and commentators saying a new world record
I implore you to listen to a couple of earlier tracks, so you can see the evolution of ELO. 'Ma-ma-belle' and (even earlier) 10538 overture, when the wonderful Roy Wood was co-leader. Roy went on to have solo hits, but was primarily known for Wizzard.
Very Prog!
Have a listen to ELOs Kuiama just heartbreaking but the vocals, music just amazing, more rock .
A master piece
You gotta' hear "Fire On High" (instrumental) by ELO, really terrific.
My favorite ELO song. But rarely reacted to.
I have suggested a request to My Shangri-La a while back. I hope all the suggestions coming in today will push that higher on your list of reactions. 😉
Hi..Ill check it out..Its hard for me to see all the comments..hope you understand ✌🏾
☮️💜
You should listen to the Overture to Eldorado which leads into the song Can't Get It Out Of My Head.
Each track on this album stands on its own. There is a short but outstanding hidden track at the end of Livin' Thing... explore it and tell us your opinion.
Yes the track you are referring to is Above the Clouds Jeff Lynne and Kelly Groucutt the Bassist of ELO share co - lead vocals it's a short but beautiful song
n john denver who was writing lyrics about destroying nature in v early/mid 70s. n jeff wrote a song on hois solo album bout cc ( climate change) in early 90s. always liked vis song alot, so many gd songs on nwr. similar song is shangra la. alot of people tink its actually happening ( being observed by aliens) n its been that way a long time, seems 2 b sme truth in it. some strange things r happening on earths satelite ( v moon). vis song mke a gd movie!.
Harri please try Slave To Love by Roxy Music 🙂
Tanks i never her this song 👀and is great...🤘🎸🥁🎸watching from Puerto Rico🇵🇷 you AMIGO GILBERT 😎🎼check out the ROLLING STONES 👅UNDERCOVER OF THE NIGHT 🔥VIDEO 👺👙
😁👈❤️❤️❤️🕊️👈
Actually there was a rich tradition of altering vocals in pop songs to emulate radio reception or interference, telephony, acoustic amplifification etc.,
I want to namecheck Gershwin for the strings inspiration and the thickness in that section is provided by a synclavier, I don't think ELO use horns.
A beautiful reaction but I don't see the sentiments held by the OP in the song at all. The protagonist is on a mission, so he thought, to a lovely planet by all accounts, but he got Humanity to observe. What a cock up.
Hey, I'm open to interpretations, what's yours?
ELO Is not english, they are from another world. Beautiful, unique and special group.
Try please, " one Sumner dreams", "Shangri La" " Big Whells"
Pete Seeger was writing and singing songs about the environment long before Joni Mitchell. She was probably influenced by Seeger himself.
Can you please name a song by him that is an environmental protest song? I'd like to check it out.
@@Cosmo-Kramer "My Dirty Stream", My Rainbow Race". I didn't agree with much of Pete's political views, but you can't deny that he is a folk music icon, and kept it alive.
@@ffjsb Cool, thanks, I'll check them out. Cheers.
@@Cosmo-Kramer Just have to say, you have EXCELLENT taste in music!
@@ffjsb Thanks! It comes from growing up in the '70s, and having older siblings who exposed me to '60s music. Rock on!
Hey message to Cosmo make a request to Harri react to Sweet is the Night , Wild West Hero ,and Jungle off the double album masterpiece Out of The Blue Three hidden gems that nobody reacts to but are great songs from the biggest ELO fan and a Harri and Cosmo fan
Well, R Cherry, I've got ya covered on, "Sweet Is The Night". I'll consider the other two. Cheers!
@@Cosmo-Kramer Gracias Cosmo
Cosmo must be sleeping with Harri to get only his suggestions played. Love is bliss
Cosmo is a Patreon..they have perks ✌🏾
Love Jeff's music, but I have to say, I'm no "Green" save the planet because we'll all be dead in 12 years" sort of person. That's my opinion, on his opinion.
I can deal with a Cosmo intro slide, but let’s keep it to one. We don’t need a novel.
Oh relax. lol Did that extra 45 seconds ruin your day? If it did, may I suggest you take 5 seconds to skip past any multi-slide Intros in the future. :D
🙈🙈🙈
I love ELO and the entire A New World's Record and Out of the Blue albums but credit should be given to the Five Man Electrical Band, famous for the 1960s protest song Signs. They had a minor hit three years before Mission, in 1973, with I'm A Stranger Here, a song that used the same alien disappointed assessment of Earth but with more pointed lyrics. You should react to it and Signs, Harri. All the best.
Nope, Joni Mitchell's got them beat. "Signs", came out in 1971, a year after her environmental protest song, "Big Yellow Taxi".
@@Cosmo-Kramer I know Signs came out in '71. I meant to write that it was a 1960s-feel/inspired protest song; it had that kind of vibe and lyricism. My main point was that I'm A Stranger Here was almost the same in theme to Mission but came out three years earlier. I'm going to look for an environmental-themed song that came out before BYT as I believe there is at least one but I can't put a finger on it yet.
@@timwhitnell7145 Okay, cool, let us know if you come up with anything that was released prior to April of '70.
@@Cosmo-Kramer I've had a cursory mental run through and done a quick Internet search and so far haven't found anything definitive. There is Where Have All The Flowers Gone? (Pete Seeger/Peter, Paul and Mary - 1962) but looking closely at the lyrics the context is more of an anti-war song. Same for Going Up The Country (Canned Heat - 1968). It talks about getting back to rural roots but again I think it's as an anti-war song. The closest I've come so far is What A Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong - 1967) but it is more in the context of the beauty of nature, life and friendship and not so much a lament on how we treat the planet. I'll keep searching.
@@timwhitnell7145 Gotcha, thanks for looking. Yeah, it may not be a coincidence that the earliest song we've come up with is from the year 1970. Do you know where I'm headed with this? What related thing, more like "event", premiered with its inaugural celebration that year?? If ya haven't guessed it yet, 1970 was the year of the first Earth Day. Now, while that would not explain Joni's song, as, "Big Yellow Taxi", came out on April 19, 1970, three days before the first Earth Day, held on April 22, 1970, it could explain the other songs that would follow in the early to mid-'70s. Marvin Gaye's, "Mercy, Mercy, Me (The Ecology)", came out the next year, in 1971. And ELO had a few songs that were written between '72 and '76 that contained environmental messages. And there's the Five Man Electrical Band. But yeah, it may've all started with Joni who was vacationing in Hawaii in '69 or early '70 and looked out her hotel window to see an enormous parking lot stretching for acres until she could finally see the Hawaiian jungle's edge. She said to herself, "They paved paradise, put up a parking lot".
eyah snds like a voice manipulator, pink floyd wre using it arond v same time 2.
Is that all people listen to, the lyrics? How about the story that the music itself is telling... which is so much more rich, and one that you need not "try" to figure out.
voy.fyi
cool
He is way off on them being the first group that sang about the environment . Listen to.... Five Man Electric Band...... their song .....I'm A Stranger Here ......talks about it from an alien telling us how good we had it. From 1972
The thing is, I didn't say they were the first, I said the were ONE of the first. How did you miss that?? I even named the song I think was the first, "Big Yellow Taxi", by Joni Mitchell in 1970, and quoted the key lyric containing the environmental message, "They paved paradise, put up a parking lot".
@@Cosmo-Kramer I just meant there were several out there I just seen the part about the Alien and I mentioned the song above to Harri . Your selections of songs are always good and I appreciate all of them.
@@clarkcraig6959 Okay, no worries. Glad you're digging the songs.
@@Cosmo-Kramer Hi Cosmo, and hi Harri, I had been looking forward to this since it was hinted.
Cosmo, I can't imagine that you are unaware of an earlier song by Jeff with a strong environmental and pacifist message: Boogie no. 2 (sorry, mistyped "1" at first), recorded in 72 and released on ELO2 in 73.
(I don't think there are earlier examples of environment-conscious JL songs, however there are some clearly anti-militaristic/pacifist songs from his time in the Idle Race: _Mrs. Ward_ , and _Big Chief Wooly Bosher_ - the latter is maybe slightly naïve in how it deals with native Americans, but it's definitely on "their side.)
@@Cosmo-Kramer people are so serious hahah I enjoyed your message and I love Elo
Not my cup of tea mate.
@@joedecker3900 not a loss, just victory in my taste.
